Dr Maciej Klemm is currently Research Associate in Microwave Imaging at the University of Bristol. He received the M.Sc. in Microwave Engineering from Gdansk University of Technology, Gdansk, Poland in 2002. In 2003 he joined the Electronics Laboratory at the Swiss Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich), Switzerland as the Research Assistant and a PhD student. He received his PhD degree in Electronics from ETH Zurich in 2006. In the same year he joined the Centre for Communications Research (CCR) at the University of Bristol. His main research focus is the development of a Microwave UWB Radar for Breast Cancer Detection, a joint project between the the Electromagnetics team in the Communications Systems & Networks Group and the Medical Physics Group at the University. Dr Klemm is also affiliated with the Medical Physics Group and hold an Honorary appointment at the University Hospitals Bristol, NHS Foundation Trust.
Dr Klemm has worked on a number of projects. At ETH Dr Klemm he worked on the EU-funded LIPS project (Low-cost Interconnect, Packaging and Sub-system Integration technologies for millimetre-wave applications), alongside well-known industrialists from companies such as Thales (France), Acreo and Kitron (Sweden). Throughout his PhD studies at ETH he worked on Ultra-wideband (UWB) Antennas for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN). His main research focus was design of body-worn UWB antennas, textile antennas and interactions of electromagnetic waves with human tissues.
In the CCR Dr Klemm is a leading researcher responsible for the development of a Microwave UWB Radar for Breast Cancer Detection. The Breast Cancer Detection project was initiated in the late 1990s by Professor Ralph Benjamin and Professor Joe McGeehan. Currently the project is managed by Professor Ian Craddock and Professor Alan Preece (retired Professor, former head of Medical Physics Group). In 2008 and 2009 the team at Bristol performed the world’s first clinical trials of the microwave radar imaging system at the Bristol Oncology Centre and Frenchay Hospital in Bristol. Dr Klemm has published 11 papers in leading journals,and 21 papers presented at international conferences. He has also had 2 patents granted and 3 recent patent filings.
In July 2010 Dr Klemm was awarded a prestigious EPSRC Career Acceleration Fellowship to support a five-year project entitled 'Dynamic Microwave Imaging (DMI) for Advanced Clinical Applications'. The project explores a novel direction in a field of Microwave Imaging. This interdisciplinary Fellowship connects the fields of electronic engineering, nanotechnology and medical physics. The research will be conducted in collaboration with the Institute of Cancer Research in Sutton, Frenchay Hospital in Bristol, the University of Oxford and Dartmouth College, USA.
